Okay I've been a lurker here for awhile. Not very active anymore. Has everyone switched over to webpress? If not I've hacked the bejesus out of B2 (visit my site if you like, it's in my sig). Anyway I have some useful hacks if anyone is still using B2.
Email Blog Subscription:
Notify users of updates to your weblog via email. This system use opt-in and opt-out subscription systems. You can fully manage the subscription list from the admin screens.
template hacks:
Indetable date fields.. I did this as my first hack. Basically each subsequent call to the_date() generates tick marks for the age of the post. The older the post the more hash marks.
Random Image/Gallery support. It's in there, uses the B2 database back end. It's mostly stand-alone though.
News ticker. Basically you can include a scrolling news box or whatever in your template someplace. Updates to content are handled via a text file (which reminds me I should do an admin panel hack for maintaining the news.. stupid me).
Shoutbox is built in as well just call the function in your template or from another page.
More or less hacked the Post/Edit screen it looks more like webpress even supports draft/final status.
Group hack.. Allows you to assign users to a specific group. I wrote this for another website (other then mine) where they wanted to have different groups act essentially different blogs.
Group picture hack. Allows you to assign an image to a particular group ID then call group_image() in your template (ala Post Nuke).
User profile hack. More custom fields, plus user picture uploading. Support PNG, JPG and GIF photos.
Also I have a hack of B2 I call PiMP^2 which incorporates my hacks plus some other hacks I've gotten here (custom fields, clickable smilies, etc). Although clickable smilies hack was further hacked to allow better post/edit screen integration (less messy).
Let me know if you want any of these...

If you submit some of your hacks on the WordPress forums their code or at least their functionality might make their way into the release.

Yea but don't count on it either...
From what I was told when I researched the whole "lj cloning" ablity - is that it probably wouldn't go far "as there were not too many requests" - so like - yea. Awesome.
Flowerglen - see your other thread - I found the whole yea.

While I'm not too sure what the whole post/edit screen hack is, nor do I know what the date hack is for sure either - those plus the one's I've quoted I'm very interested in
Infact - the subscription thing is just god So yea- hi
